In preparing whitewash for the walls, cellings, posts of the cow barn, etc, it is best to add some antiseptic. Black the fresh stone lime by adding water gradually and stirring it until is is a smooth, thick creamy body. Add a pint of crude carbollc acid for every ten gallons. If it is to be put on by hand, it needs only a little more thinning with water. But if it is to be applied by a spray pump, much more water is needed, and the wash must be strained through a cloth. The whitewashing should be done when the cows are not in the room. The doors and windows should be open fo allow rapid drying. Ordinarily, 1t is not necessary to do the whitewashing oftener than every six weeks through the winter season, but let the fall ap plication be done and very thoroughly. Buying a Dairy Cow.

The fast man who steals bases not only advances himself toward the plate, but he unsteadies an opposing plicher more or less and often helps the man who follows him to a base on balls. Stealing bases may bring fortunate points to your side, but the altempt may waste a run for you and cost the game.” Demaree Wins Again.
